We were joined by Dr. Nuna Staniaszek from IOM3 and Marios Chrysanthou from Bluelight, who shared their experiences on ensuring data integrity during a CRM implementation. The session was highly engaging, packed with great insights. You can watch the full webinar here.

• Ahead of our first Artificial Intelligence webinar on the 18th September, we have launched an NFP focused AI survey. Submit your entry to potentially win a prize!
• I also had the pleasure of attending the Associations Conference in London, hosted by Governology, where we discussed governance best practices with industry leaders. It was a valuable opportunity to learn and share experiences. You can view their events list here: Events @ Governology

Looking ahead, we have exciting events on AI, Data Migration, and IT landscape rationalisation. Internally, we've seen an increase in system replacement and business case activity, indicating a growing focus on leveraging technology to support strategic goals.

It’s an exciting time for the sector!

Developing your AI Strategy for Non-Profits

18 SEPTEMBER 2024? | 9:30 – 10:30? | ONLINE

Artificial Intelligence promises to revolutionise how we interact with technology. The meteoric rise and pace of development, along with the sheer number of times AI gets mentioned in a day, highlights its inevitability that this is the future.

But how do you realise these benefits for real practical gain as opposed to jumping on the hype bandwagon? What do you have to consider as a Non-Profit and how do you ensure you have strategy to benefit from AI, but also how you protect your organisation in changing times.

We are privileged to be joined by Carolyn Brown, CIO at the British Medical Association. Carolyn is a very experienced IT veteran and has been leading the BMA strategy on how AI will impact the trade union and professional body for doctors and medical students in the UK.

Her experience and insights on this topic promise to make this a not to be missed event.

Topics covered:

• Understand the importance of AI for Charities and Membership organisations and its potential impact.
• Identify how your organisation could benefit from AI
• Develop a set of policies to ensure compliance
• Strategies and approaches to implementing AI in a practical and measured way
• Learn how to create a phased AI adoption plan.
